Of Blood and Death
Chapter 36
"This is so much fun!" Lulu squealed her hands filled with various sized bags. "It is so much better shopping with you guys then Moses and Karman. All they do is whine. How they can find shopping boring I just can not grasp." Hinata and Saya giggled at her appalled expression.
"I think it is an inherent gene men hate shopping." Hinata laughed. "Shino was the worst. He practically lived in the same dull gray colored jacket our whole youth. I swear he nearly cried when he found out Kiba and I had snuck in his room and replaced them. It was the only idea we could come up with to get him to try something new. " Her voice trailing off as she turned her head away from them. Her fingers going to the sunglasses she wore. "Kami I miss them." She whispered softly.
"I know you do Hinata. " Saya whispered looking over at her friend. Hinata had the breath nearly knocked out of her when Lulu dropped her packages and hugged her fiercely.
"Come on Hina cheer up…Christmas is almost here." Lulu begged her large lavender eyes giving off a puppy dog look.
"It's okay Lulu." She smiled her hand going to her pocket. She ran her fingers lovingly over the scroll in her coat pocket. Knowing her blood sword was safely concealed in it. She let out a tired sigh. She was sick and tired of waiting for news on Itachi's whereabouts. All that Red Shield had learned was that the ship had docked with all of its crew either dead or missing.
'Who knows if they are even still in the country?" She thought to herself feeling the hate rise up in her.
"Damn David!' She muttered under her breath.
"You're not still pissed about your argument with David this morning?" Lulu tsked loudly. "He was right Hinata. You can not just wander all over Russia trying to find them. You are a stranger in this country just leave it to us Schiff. We will find him."
"Bullshit! I'm a trained kunoichi and trained for reconnaissance. He's just lucky I promised Joel to follow Red Shield orders." She spat icily.' For now that is. ' The words filling her thoughts.
"Not to mention I think my brother would tie your ass to a chair if you tried."
"Oh kinky." Lulu cooed as Saya and Hinata looked at her appalled before rolling their eyes at her.
"Come on let's go find the guys. " Saya chimed in turning to leave. Both Lulu and Hinata stared at each other nervously. She watched Lulu look at her watch and shake her head no.
'Shit…Shit…shit.! Lulu and I promised Haji to keep her distracted for the next few hours so he could pick out the perfect ring.'
"You know what Saya we forgot one important place to take Hinata." Hinata gave the lavender haired woman a look of utter confusion. Lulu just smiled back at her slyly and shrugged her shoulders.
The next thing Hinata knew she was standing in front of a frisky looking lingerie shop. With red tinted glass doors. The store window showing many different types of kinky under garments to Hinata's frightened dismay.
"Oh hell no!" She gasped turning as red as the doors.
"Oh, come on Hina you need something sexy to wear under those new clothes." Lulu smiled. The smile was almost evilly sinister.
"Lulu." She nearly growled as the girl pushed her into the store.
" Sorry but you can't back out now if you do Saya will want to meet up with our guys." Lulu whispered in her ear. Crossing her arms triumphantly .
"You are so going to pay for this!" Hinata hissed under her breath to a gleaming triumphant Lulu.
An hour later Hinata was close to the point of embarrassing death.
"Lulu I swear your taste in underwear would make a hooker blush." Saya laughed as Hinata stared at the floor in hopes it would devour her and remove her from this utter humiliating embarrassment. Pinching the bridge of her nose she sighed loudly at the headache she felt coming on.
Lulu let out one of her obnoxious loud sequels when the phone rang. Giving Hinata a knowing wink.
'So Moses is calling with the all clear.' Hinata thought to herself sighing in relief. 'Thank Kami this underwear trip from hell is finally at and end.' Her relief was short lived as Lulu voice became confused then slightly agitated. The little words and snippets of conversation she was hearing made her heart race in concern.
"Hey….Akamaru did what?….Kai what?…. Huh… oh….then what did you do?'
Hinata was becoming more agitated by the minute as Lulu ignored her 'what is going on questions'. Turning and dodging as Hinata's hand reached to snatch the phone from her.
"Oh okay…love you…bye."
Hinata and Saya stood staring at their new sister exasperated as she made kissy sounds to her cell phone.
"What the fuck is going on!" Hinata finally screamed her left eye twitching from the stress.
"Did they get news on Itachi?" She forced out between clenched teeth.
"Geesh Hinata calm down. Nothing big happened." Lulu replied nonchalantly. "Your dog is just acting like a pest barking and from what Moses says torn a table apart. So Kai…Haji and Moses are taking him back to the mansion and asked if we could just grab a cab."
Hinata was out the door before the last words left her mouth. Saya looked over at a shrugging Lulu.
"What's her problem?" Lulu asked grabbing the abandoned packages of Hinata's.
"I am not sure but Akamaru means a lot to her. He belonged to her fallen comrade." Lulu just mouthed an "Oh" As they left the shop to find Hinata.
